I Flew ANA's IMPRESSIVE 777 Premium Class! (Domestic)

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- ANA, or All Nippon Airways, is the largest airline in Japan, and is generally seen as one of the best airlines in the world.
In addition to an extensive international network, they also connect many cities within Japan, and some of those routes are flown with dedicated widebody aircraft configured just for domestic flights.
Towards the end of our visit to Japan in May, we needed to get from Osaka to Tokyo, and chose ANA for that flight. It turned out to be one of the best domestic flights I've ever had!

Back in 2002 I got to fly ANA domestic from Haneda to Chitose on a 747-400D, and then the return leg on a 777. Quite an experice using jumbos as short-hoppers!
I get so excited for Alex’s flight reviews! He’s the best!
Same! The full reviews are awesome.
@@Anolaana yup
sameeeeee
The Same Here I hope to Launch my own Aviation and Travel Videos soon since I'm The Caribbean Island Of Barbados where I'm from.
@@karlossargeant3872 I’d love to do that too.
probably one of the best takeoff scenes I've seen on RUclips, could really feel the speed and altitude build, great camera work!
Nice catch on the C3PO
I was lucky enough to fly on their domestic 777-300 back in August. I was seated in the mid-cabin just behind the wing and the window sides didn't have any bulkheads or lavatories between cabin zones. That meant I could see all the way to the front and all the way to the back, it was a surreal feeling to have seats upon seats upon seats in all directions. The only downside is that baggage claim took a loooooong time, with over 400 passengers worth of baggage to be distributed and a small baggage claim area to accomodate most of us. ANA was a firm childhood favorite of mine and I'm pleased Alex, you enjoyed your flight too!
that was one smoooooooth landing
also
a340 spotted @ 12:41
Glad you enjoyed your time here!!!
I've spend about three days just watching your videos as I have quite a shitty time. They really get me through the day. Keep it Up!
Just loved the flight crew waving from the special liveried 777 and the ground crew doing the same! It's a nice touch. Enjoyed the video a lot - very jealous! :)
Great video!
6:53 I’m feeling United Airlines vibe today with Triple 7’s still around for domestic (like Japan) and International flights and Listen to the amazing PW4000 on T/O 7:03
4:00 thats the smoothest landing this one as well 9:47 wow all their landings were beautiful!
WoW ! I had ever took a ride on JA715A from HND to LAX in 2012. It's good to see this plane again!
I flew ANA routinely from Narita to Naha Okinawa and Naha to Haneda a few times. The Narita flight was a 767-300 in domestic configuration. The cool thing about that flight was parking at a remote stand at Narita and busing to Terminal One. The Haneda flight was the 777-200 in 3-4-3 economy. Wasn’t that full thank god. Seating was tight.
Yes! Another Alex praglowski video
I once flew on a United 787-10 from Denver to San Francisco. It was definitely a new experience.
What a nice trip report…for once I have been on this flight before Alex has.😝😝 though we didn’t get premium (didn’t even think on checking premium pricing😿). These old 777 are very well maintained and seemed new inside. Though the Pratt decal on the engine said other wise. Not too long after we flew these ANA 777s they were grounded for a bit after a US aircraft chucked a fan blade. So you were in safer hands on this one. Itami is a very nice airport and very passenger friendly with TV screens showing aircraft taking off and landing. Very nice food selection in the normal cattle class and even a hotel on the roof which we used due to a very early connection out. Kyoto and Osaka were a wonderful trip.
Will be there in a couple weeks for a Tokyo and Kyushu trip. We will see how JAL is.
Thank-you for your comment. I enjoy reading the experiences of others.
Just realized I am flying ANA again 787 to Kagoshima. Finally get to fly an early 787.
0:34 this is the exact reason Japan was one of the only countries to operate DOMESTIC 747 in the 1980s DESPITE having Shinkansen. Domestic and 747 aren't usually found in the same sentence but here we are.
Flight 123 which crashed on the Tokyo-Osaka route was a Domestic 747.
Love it! I recently flew “first” on a United 777 and that PW4000 sound is the best! Love your videos.
The best landing ever seen
Wow! What a take off. Great video, Alex.
Excellent video on ANA for a very reasonable upgrade to premium economy! Love how they have 2 entrances to the plane so no congestion or delays! Canadian airports should do the same, but not very likely for all gates in Vancouver, Calgary or Toronto.
Hah back to Japan, very different for a Canadian but it's good.
Wow, look at the food service to premium passengers on a fifty minute flight and the description is in english.
This was lovely to watch as I'll be flying this same aircraft on ANA in November from Tokyo HND to Sapporo CTS for the first time though I'll be in Economy. Thanks for the sneak peek Alex and awesome job as always 😎👍🏻
Hello Mr.Alex! I am a resident near Itami Airport. I am very glad you introduced Itami Airport to us. Thank you very much. If you have a chance to come to Osaka again sometime, I hope you will visit Itami Sky Park and Senri River bank. Itami Sky Park is a park facing Runway 32L of Itami Airport, where you can enjoy watching takeoff and landing planes up close. The landing and reverse sound of a B767 seen from here is very powerful. Senri River Bank is located at the final of Runway 32L of Itami Airport, and as the name suggests, it is a river bank. This is less than 200 meters from the runway end. So you can enjoy close-up view of landing planes passing 25 to 35 meters above the runway like Maho Beach. Especially the B777 landing is a unique experience as you can feel the backward turbulence.
I enjoyed your video very much! Thanks!
This was so so awesome!!! :D
I have to say, this is the best Premium Economy seat that I’ve ever seen! Incredible, it just looked like the EKs B777s Business 😅
Thats crazy, I love ANA. I recently flew ANA 777-300ER in business class. Only 212 seats on those. The 787-8 on way back was 162 seats.
i've flown ANA about a dozen times? Way better than JAL in my opinion. And i've flown JAL about the same amount. Glad you enjoyed ANA.
Love your aviation videos and reviews Alex
Thanks. You reminded me when you said an OG 777 that I was on one of the first flights to London right after they said we could go on 2 engines. I love my United Prem Econ seat in the 777s from Houston. Completed worth $500-700 onto an econ ticket
Nice one. I flew on ANA’s 767 on a similar route last week (Haneda to KIX) but received two drink trolley services instead.
Very quickly though: the Tokyo-Osaka corridor accounts for around 15-20% share of passengers travelling between the two cities. The other 80-85% use Shinkansen.
Lately there’s some debate involving NGO regarding Chuo Shinkansen and budget carriers. TL/DR this may result in NGO having some increase of passengers (despite not being connected to the JR network).
Would be interesting to see Alex research and provide some insight on the situation of flight routes in Japan with respect to High speed rail.
Excellent review and trip report video Alex! Love your enthusiasm and knowledge beyond the airline that you share
I'm glad to see the PW4000 engine still around even after those issues. Also those engines used to be made in CT right by me.
what issues?
wow i didn't know how crowded it was there.
Nice shooting! I live in Japan and use ANA frequently for domestic travel, but the last time I was on 715A was when it was still doing international, according to my registration book I took her from HND-LAX in the summer of 2014. You should try the premium class on JAL's domestic A350 next time!
ANA's Trip Reports is the Best in Japan Awesome Video Alex Praglowski nuff respect to all your Videos on Aviation and Travel keep going and Dream Big on Aviation Man 100%
love your videos bro have watched or a long time and have enjoyed ever single one of your videos
Love your content! Especially enjoying the Japan vids!!
Why does the 787 at 0:15 have the Ram Air Turbine extended? Great video
he said "Yes it was a test flight at Paine Field last year, didn't think people would notice lol ruclips.net/video/IO40AXriiCU/видео.html"
Good video, Congrats! Did you notice the beginning .... 787 landing with RAT (Ram Air Turbine) deployed!!??!!!
I know!!! I was looking for this comment
he said "Yes it was a test flight at Paine Field last year, didn't think people would notice lol ruclips.net/video/IO40AXriiCU/видео.html"
Interesting to see ANA including IFE screens on an aircraft used for domestic routes 😮
Those engine sounds during takeoff~😌 (music to my ears)
One interesting thing about their 777-200ers is that 5 of them, along with 2 of Asiana’s, are PW powered 772s that were delivered in 2012, meaning that they are newer than the last GE powered 777-200ER, which was delivered to CO in 2010
these are among the last first-gen 777s being delivered - the last one was delivered to asiana (built circa may 2013)
Very solid!!!! 🎉 congrats about such cool flight catch!
Thank-you for your flight review! Unfortunately, my only experience of Japan was making a connecting flight at Narita as I made my way from Atlanta to Seoul. However, I will never forget the vast difference between flying Delta and Korean Air (which I highly recommend). The is no way to adequately describe the difference between US carriers and those of eastern Asia. If I had fly to Europe again, I would be tempted to fly with one of their airlines through east Asia.
However, you have demonstrated enough in your short review of ANA to convince me that it will be among my top carriers to fly.
The one thing you did not mention about your trip was how meticulously clean is the airport and aircraft. That was something else blatantly obvious to me on my trip. Furthermore, those who worked for the airport and airlines were immaculately dressed and neat, as if they had just returned with their clothing from the cleaners.
Thank-you so much again for the video. It served well to refresh my memories of Japan.
Also, I really enjoy your reviews Alex. You do good work.
That IFE is better than most of the premium class seats from other airlines.
Indeed. That IFE was quite good when we were on it in 2019. Vastly better than the AC product available at that time. I believe it had a messaging capability to other seats. Felt fresh and new despite the relative age of the aircraft 20 years or so. Was much newer than AC 767 dating back to 1988 tho we were lucky to have IFE on that one.
I've been to Japan a few times and travelled around extensively by train but I've never taken a domestic flight. I have flown JAL before between Shanghai/Hong Kong and Narita/Haneda but I've never flown ANA. I might fly ANA next year between Frankfurt and Haneda if Lufthansa's Frankfurt-Nagoya route isn't reinstated. I don't know if I would fly domestically in Japan unless I was going to Sapporo, Fukuoka or Nagasaki. I've flown in and out of Kansai a few times but I've never been to Itami so good to see footage of that as well.
His flight reviews are the best
You are the best commentator of all !!!!!!!!
Alex, it’s no wonder you are popular. Your presentations are top quality!
Another alex banger!
I’m on it right now as I type. I’m surprised since I expected an old cabin. Much better than the old product and JAL’s as well for my route
0:14 why does that 787 have a ram air turbine out on landing??
Good catch. He visited in May. I’ll check AV herald. Nope nothing there. Training maybe. Canadian CADORs system publishes a bit more than most. Not sure if Japan has such a reporting system.
@@threeparots1 he said "Yes it was a test flight at Paine Field last year, didn't think people would notice lol ruclips.net/video/IO40AXriiCU/видео.html"
Damn great catch. Lot of people don’t even know what that is let alone catch in in vids
Brilliant flight ✈️ for55min food looked well good thanks great videos 👍
Man those engines 👍..
Awesomeee video
Rip Alex, not riding on the c3po 777 Ana flight
Man, i love your videos....
Except that they make me jealous :(
i wanna be able to fly this much...
ANA wasn't the only airline to use widebody aircrafts for domestic flights. Biman Bangladesh also operates widebody aircrafts (mostly 787s) in some domestic flights.
Australia does as well. Not just on transcontential services, but there's quite a few flights along the east coast that are done with an a330
That was amazing Alex !!!:):):)
I don't mean to be so negative but "Air Crap" and "West Junk" can learn a whole lot from "ANA" .
First of all quit gouging the hell out of us for your flights!!! :(:(:(
I will get off my stool and I'm done with my "RANT" :):):)
Thanks for sharing Alex...Your video's are the best!!!
Much closer to Calgary you have B777-222 from DEN EWR and ORD which uses the same PW4090 engine as your B777-281/ER across the Sea of Japan you find it on Korean Air and Asiana B777-200/ER. One way you tell them apart from RR Trent 800 is PW4090 giving off a vacuum cleaner sound on Spool up. Knew this because I did a round trip PW4090 Korean Air B777 from JFK to MNL via ICN December 17th 2006.
Are you going to covers air canada’s new 787 order?
3:44 This is not the droid, er, plane you’re looking for.
Can you do a future video on Star Wars ANA vs Pikachu ANA?
I went everywhere you went
Thats odd. Is it just me, but the engine you filmed lacked an engine spiral from my first view? Awesome video nonetheless!!
7:58 The banking is insane.
No it’s not
0:16 Why would they have the RAT deployed?
I’ve noticed that most reviewers gush about everything being the “best” from the food options to the service. It is hard to differentiate between what is truly the best and when one is super impressed. I guess that leaves just the US based airlines not in the best category.
What airline is the A340 from? 12:44
I went to dotonburi back in July 29th I’m back in Calgary it was nice in Osaka I stayed for 10 days took air Canada air Canada jet star and then air Canada air Canada 737 max8 777-300ER airbus a320 bullet train 777-300ER airbus a321-200
That one B787 clip at the beginning with the RAT deployed, was that just a random clip?
Yes it was a test flight at Paine Field last year, didn't think people would notice lol ruclips.net/video/IO40AXriiCU/видео.html
@@AlexPraglowskiAviation the sound of it after the turbofan, it’s so cute! Like a little one running after her big sister! 🤣🤣
HOLY LANDING
0:17 Why the RAT is out
0:19 what’s the propellor near the right side landing gear?
that's the Ram Air Turbine.
16 seconds in you caught a ANA 787 with a RAT deployed. Very rare to see.
Hey anyone know who that A340 shown at the first visable taxiway on landing belonged to?
It’s 9H-BIG an a340-300 owned by AirX, a VIP Charter company
@@linus284what is the timestamp
@@linus284 thanks!!!!
So positively entertained by how North Americans were Blown way by Asian service standard
The 2025 World's Fair is going to be in Osaka...if you want an excuse to return to Japan.
12:42 what was that Airbus a340?
I’m not sure I noticed that too haha
The airlines in Americas should take plenty of notes on how to be classy and provide great service or international airlines would take over.
Why cant Air Canada/ WestJet give meals out to economy class??
Japan airlines said goodbye to there last domestic 777 200 last year JA703J November
you should(ve) tried JAL rare a350's flown on domestic routes!
ANA has two special livery on 777-200ER, The Star Wars C-3PO and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba.
As an Albertan, Alberta is FUCKING EMPTY LIKE 4M PEOPLE 💀
